Clinical psychologists are hoping a new kind of OCD therapy, known as the Bergen 4-Day Treatment, will become part of the public health system.
The four-day course of intensive exposure therapy currently costs thousands of dollars, but seven in ten participants report continued success a month after treatment.
The treatment was developed in Norway, and was delivered for the first time in New Zealand to 17 young New Zealanders in Auckland in January.
In May, 17-year-old Niamh Devlin was one of 25 young people taking part in New Zealand's second ever Bergen 4-Day Treatment in Christchurch.
